CustomDrop Method

         Example         Applies To

Sets the vertical distance (in points) from the edge of the text bounding box to the place where the callout line attaches to the text box. This distance is measured from the top of the text box unless the AutoAttach property is set to True and the text box is to the left of the origin of the callout line (the place that the callout points to), in which case the drop distance is measured from the bottom of the text box.

Syntax

expression.CustomDrop(Drop)

expression   Required. An expression that returns a CalloutFormat object.

Drop   Required Single. The drop distance, in points.

Remarks

If the PresetDrop method was previously used to set the drop for the specified callout, use the statement PresetDrop msoCalloutDropCustom before using the CustomDrop method so that the custom drop setting takes effect.
